The damage and disaster a war causes is devastating, to the nation, to its people, and most importantly, to the brave men who toil on the battlefield. Some say the fear of war or possession of nuclear weapons is necessary to maintain peace, whereas others say peace itself would eradicate the need for war or weapons of any sort. A lot of eminent personalities have quoted on the above views as well as on the lives of warriors and soldiers who actually execute a war.

By warriors, we are referring to every person who has fought in the interest of their nation, be it a samurai, knights, marines, soldiers of the army, navy, air force, and the like. It's very tough to leave a life of luxury and nobility, and live a life full of hardships and misery. A warrior likes his life, because living each day is a challenge, rather than dying an easy death.

Check out some famous inspirational warrior quotes and sayings about strength, death, love for the nation, and bravery.
